HS v2017 Code: 7310
About tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, for any material (excluding compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, capacity not exceeding 300l, whether or not lined or heat-insulated
HS code 7310 covers a wide range of metal containers, including tanks, casks, drums, cans, and boxes, primarily made of iron or steel. These containers are used to store and transport a variety of materials, excluding compressed or liquefied gases. The industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential packaging solutions for a diverse range of industries, from food and beverage to chemicals and petrochemicals.
Production process
The production of HS code 7310 containers typically involves a combination of metalworking techniques, such as stamping, welding, and finishing processes. Manufacturers may use automated machinery and specialized equipment to ensure consistent quality and efficient output. The containers are often designed with features like linings or insulation to meet specific storage and transportation requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of HS code 7310 containers include iron or steel sheets, coils, or plates, which serve as the primary raw materials. Manufacturers may also require various fasteners, sealants, and coatings to ensure the containers' durability and functionality. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as stamping presses, welding equipment, and finishing tools, are essential for the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
HS code 7310 containers are widely used across numerous industries, serving as packaging solutions for a diverse range of products. The outputs of this industry can be consumed by various other HS codes, including 8701 Tractors, 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, 8708 Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705, and 8716 Trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; parts thereof, among others. These containers play a crucial role in the efficient transportation and storage of goods, contributing to the overall functioning of global supply chains.
